Alameda County arts and cultural nonprofit organizations are encouraged to apply to the Arts Relief Grant Program.

The Alameda County Arts Relief Grant Program has been established to provide funding assistance to nonprofit arts and cultural organizations negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This program is managed by the Office of the Alameda County Arts Commission under the leadership of Melissa Wilk, Alameda County Auditor-Controller/Clerk-Recorder, and the Alameda County Board of Supervisors.

Through this American Rescue Plan Act-funded grant program, up to $1,000,000 will be provided to Alameda County arts and cultural nonprofit organizations that have experienced a negative economic impact created by COVID-19 during the period of March 1, 2020, to the present. Funding will be provided to arts and cultural organizations located throughout Alameda County with additional support provided to organizations located in the county’s unincorporated areas.

Arts and cultural organizations who received a grant through the Alameda County Arts Relief Grant Program Round One in 2020 and/or through the annual Alameda County ARTSFUND Grant Program are eligible to apply to the Arts Relief Grant Program Round Two as long as all other eligibility requirements are met as outlined in the guidelines.

Grant guidelines and the application are posted on the Alameda County Arts Commission’s website at www.acgov.org/arts. The application deadline is Friday, May 13 at 5 p.m.
